From 8 minutes to go, to less than 2 minutes to go, the Wolves didn’t score a point. I believe they missed 9 consecutive shots–some of those being blocked. Also a few turnovers in there.

Sometimes “4th Quarter go-to guys” are overrated, but a team that is totally devoid of a “get his own shot” kind of guy has its own set of problems. Mike Beasley would have helped in that stretch of terrible offense. Even when he’s missing, he often draws an extra defender and opens up offensive rebounding opportunities, much the way the Raptors were doing last night for Amir Johnson (8 offensive boards).
